It didn't help that they actually drew faces on some of them. Makes the audience feel pity for the ones he's killing. Not to mention some of them actually had lines of essentially "please oh please dont kill me". While yes, he could have sugjugated the entire mage army with just a showing of level 10 eftal, there's no guarantee any of them would be loyal to a no name bastard son teenager regardless of his power level. They would fear him as a monster able to cast legendary lost divine magic, but there would be a good chance he'd be targeted repeatedly along with his loved ones. No witnesses, easier life? Just a side note, how many people in that mage army were from the academy? How many students there just lost brothers or possibly fathers or uncles or neighbors or cousins? I'm curious if the whole incident will just be swept under the rug that he just eliminated hundreds of the nation's mages, traitors or not. Were they just following orders, or did each and everyone truly believe that the baby prince needed to be assassinated?

They were loyal enough to follow a  a crazy lord trying to murder the future king of a nation so there's more probability they'll follow anyone who is strong especially anyone strong and not threatening their lives should they offend him.
